I Actually Went to Yoga
I didn’t have a very strenuous work day today, so I went to a Level 2-3 flow class. It was rough. I’ve been off my regular practice, going pretty much just to the mid-week restorative classes lately. My forearms and hands are feeling a lot better today, but still I had to spend more time […]

Gardenhelp.org - My Other Blog - Why You Won’t See it Here
I’ve decided to remove “my other blog” link for this site. It isn’t because I don’t want to share these articles. It’s because I’m inviting some others to guest blog at gardenhelp. I have a few professionals on board who are interested in sharing their knowledge with the gardening community. Since I have no way […]

Garden Coach Buys Plants for Clients
Yesterday I spent most of the morning running to wholesale nurseries for clients. Yes, I hold a retail plant license. Many of my clients have limited time. Some are working moms. Others are world-travelling executives. Some just don’t drive. You

When enough is ENOUGH!
It’s almost 5pm. Yoga starts at 5:45pm. I’d love to go, but I know my body has had enough for today. Typing even feels a little much on my tired hands.
Shiloh and I had a great time driving to Woodinville and Kirkland today to pick up plants. The first stop had pulled our order, so […]

Garden Coach on Moving a Dormant Stewartia Tree, Part II
I know it’s taken me a lot of words in part I of this piece on moving trees to get to actually sharing a tree moving experience, but I do think it’s important to discuss why we might move a tree and the variety of caveots associated with tr

Tiny Bits of Snowing Rain
I had a busy work day yesterday and was looking forward to yoga then a walk with Shiloh with Bob in the evening. Well, things sorta worked out that way. Tuesday I missed yoga ’cause I got a frantic call from a friend needing a ride to the hospital. Don’t ask. He’s fine, but the […]

Garden Coach on Moving Trees & Transplanting Trees, Part I
Quite often my clients struggle with inherited gardens that include desirable plants that are just in the wrong location. What was once a small shrub near a foundation may have grown into a small tree that now encroaches on windows and building sidings

Walk with Shiloh
Took a mid-day walk with Shiloh on Monday in the sunshine. I took several days off from yoga to let my body recover. Got a massage, acupuncture and went to a spa over the weekend to add to the relaxation. I think things are back on track. Have several pruning clients this week, but I […]

Restful Day & Walk with Shiloh
Today is the first day in many that I haven’t had hands-on training appointments with at least one client. After a hot, salt bath, I crashed early and hard last night, sleeping almost 11 hours. And, I needed it! Today my hands and arms aren’t feeling completely worn out & I’m much more alert. Today, […]

Restorative but a Little More
Went to restorative yoga, which is a beginner/restorative combo class. Lots of students who are progressing beginners were there, so the teacher worked on more difficult poses. Usually this is fine, but today I was hoping for something VERY restorative. My hands and shoulders are still tired. Anyway, class was good. We did a lot […]
